Ignyta for ten years for approximately 95,100 square feet at Towne Centre Technology Park in San Diego, California, a property which the company acquired in May 2015; and

Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Total revenues for the third quarter were approximately $174.3 million, compared to approximately $168.9 million for the same period in 2014. Rental revenues for the third quarter were approximately $123.3 million, compared to $122.8 million for the same period in 2014.

CFFO and FFO, calculated in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, for the third quarter were $0.44 per diluted share. This amount includes realized gains totaling $15.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, net of an allocation of income attributable to noncontrolling interests, primarily from the acquisition of a life science company in which the company held an equity investment. In addition, other revenues included approximately $3.1 million of lease termination income, or $0.01 per diluted share. CFFO and FFO for the same period in 2014 were $0.40 per diluted share.

Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) was $0.32 per diluted share for the quarter, compared to $0.35 per diluted share for the same period in 2014. The company reported net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter of approximately $28.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $16.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period in 2014.

Same property net operating income on a cash basis for the three months ended September 30, 2015 declined by 4.0% as compared to the same period a year ago, driven primarily by the impact of previously disclosed lease terminations.

FFO, CFFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income available to common stockholders to FFO, CFFO and AFFO and definitions of terms are included at the end of this release.

Financing Activity

During the third quarter, the company refinanced the loan secured by the 650 East Kendall Street property, which the company owns through its joint venture with Prudential Real Estate Investors. Under the terms of the new loan, the amount financed was increased to $160 million from approximately $139 million and the applicable credit spread over LIBOR was reduced from 205 basis points to 140 basis points over a new five-year term. The facility matures in August 2020, with two one-year extension options exercisable at the joint venture's discretion.

Quarterly Distributions

On October 8, 2015, the company announced that it entered into a definitive merger agreement with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, under which Blackstone has agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of BioMed Realty for $23.75 per share. Completion of the transaction is currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 2016 and is contingent upon customary closing conditions, including the approval of the company's stockholders, who will vote on the transaction at a special meeting on a date to be announced.

BioMed Realty's board of directors previously declared a third quarter 2015 dividend of $0.26 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to an annualized dividend of $1.04 per common share. The third quarter dividend was paid on October 15, 2015 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement with Blackstone, the company will not pay dividends on the common stock for any quarter thereafter, subject to certain exceptions. However, if the proposed merger transaction is completed after January 1, 2016, stockholders will receive a per diem amount of approximately $0.003 per share for each day from January 1, 2016 until, but not including, the closing date.
